Global Collapse

Chapter 377 The Fatty's Lunch Boxes Are So Delicious
Gu Mian saw it clearly just now.

Guo Jimei picked up a movie ticket, and coincidentally, Chu Changge had a special item that looked exactly like the movie ticket.

There are many special items belonging to Chu Changge, but because he rarely uses them, Gu Mian has forgotten exactly how many he has.

If it were taken out, Gu Mian would recognize it; that ticket belonged to Chu Changge, and he had deliberately let Guo Jimei pick it up.

Judging from Guo Jimei's expression just now, she seemed to know that this was a special item.

Theoretically speaking, apart from high-level NPCs like Mr. Green, most NPCs don't recognize special items and simply throw them away as trash.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

First, Guo Jimei is a high-level NPC.

This is unlikely.

Second, regardless of whether Guo Jimei is human or ghost, she has already begun to play the role of a player, but she seems completely unaware of it.

The so-called "playerization" means gradually developing in the direction of players, and even at any time, they may leave their original instance and come into the real world.

This possibility is not small.

Because Fairy Tale City set a good example for Gu Mian, vividly demonstrating that "you players can also get trapped in a dungeon and unable to get out."

This instance may send NPCs out of the instance world.

What a headache.

Just then, Gu Mian remembered Xu Xingcheng, an NPC who had inexplicably appeared in another instance and was behaving strangely.

This indicates that there is a connection between the copies, but Gu Mian cannot figure out this connection.

What are the relationships between different instances, between instances and the game, between instances and NPCs, and between instances and yourself?
Gu Mian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just then, Coco, who had run over, spoke up, almost whispering in Gu Mian's ear, as if afraid that Li Yibai next to her would hear: "I have something I hope you can help me with... You're a doctor, right?"

Gu Mian looked down at her: "Do you need me to give you the injection? Or should I help you with the amputation?"

Coco paused for a moment, then shook her head urgently: "No... let's talk about it next time..."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and ran towards Guo Jimei.

Gu Mian was a little confused; this teammate he had matched with twice was really strange.

They were very quick to find their phones.

Gu Mian watched from the window for less than five minutes before Pan Yue and the others had already found their phones and returned to the teaching building.

During this time, Chu Changge and Yuan Qinghua exchanged a few words in the back.

They went upstairs quickly, and soon Gu Mian heard Pan Yue's voice.

"The phone was found, but it's broken. I'll take out the memory card; it should still work." When Pan Yue and the others returned, Li Yibai was still lying on the ground, looking lifeless.

Pan Yue glanced at Li Yibai, who hadn't moved an inch: "It's past three o'clock now, do you want to rest?"

Gu Mian can hold on, and other players in the dungeon should be able to manage as well, but the NPCs probably can't.

Li Yibai, who hadn't slept for two days, was immersed in grief and probably had no desire to sleep. However, Guo Jimei and Yuan Qinghua were extremely tired.

Coco yawned softly, "I haven't slept for two days, I'm afraid I won't have the energy tomorrow." The other girls went to sleep, but Guo Jimei deliberately dragged Coco to sleep in the place furthest away from Yuan Qinghua.

Pan Yue had probably slept during the day, so she wasn't asleep now, but was leaning against the door, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Yibai remained motionless, his head bowed.

Chu Changge was right next to Gu Mian. Gu Mian glanced at him and said softly, "Did you throw something away today?"

“Hmm,” Chu Changge nodded silently, “This dungeon is a bit unusual. I suspect it’s somewhat similar to the Fairy Tale City dungeon, but thankfully…”

What's so good about it?
"Fortunately, the fat man knew the identities of all the ghosts before he died."

Gu Mian wasn't surprised at all.

Before he died, the fat man went to the toilet once, but he didn't go there to do anything important; he just said the wrong thing.

Gu Mian still remembered the words the fat man almost blurted out—"Oh right, I have that little..."

The fat man had a special item that he had stolen from Gu Mian.

Its name is "Miniature Notebook".

[Function: Enter a time period and a person, and the notebook will automatically generate the actions performed by that person during that time period]

It can be used once a week. The larger the time range you enter, the simpler the generated character's actions will be, and vice versa.

Moreover, it can only record actions that have already occurred in the past.

While the fat man was in the bathroom, Gu Mian guessed that he had already used the notebook with Chu Changge.

Although you can only fill in one person at a time, the notebook can show who is around the person whose name is being filled in.

For example, the character could be filled in as "Gu Mian".

The timeline then includes the brief period during which they first encountered 007 in this instance.

The contents of the notebook are very likely to be like this—

Gu Mian encounters Lin Qi (identity: ghost)

Lin Qi took out a piece of paper with the signatures of twelve people on it.

[Gu Mian (Identity: *), Chu Meiren (Identity: *), Wang Pang (Identity: *)... Li Yibai (Identity: *)]

Of course, the asterisk (*) was Gu Mian's imagination, because the identities of some people cannot be confirmed at present.

"You guessed it too, didn't you? The fat man learned everyone's identities through that notebook, and he could have made it public immediately," Chu Changge continued, "but he didn't tell anyone else."

The fat man is an ordinary citizen.

The only reason he concealed his identity as a ghost was to help the ghost cover it up.

There are only two people in this instance who would make the fat man go to such lengths to help cover up the ghost's identity.

Fatty: I've been dead for two months, just came out for a stroll today.
